Ghost town of Beaver, Minnesota

looking for info on Beaver Minnesota trying to figure out exactly where the town was located. I seen where the cemetery is my ancestors are buried there and I was going to take a trip to see the gravesite and thought the town would be a cool place to detect.

Matt, I would seriously head over to the MNHS... I don't make it over there enough... So much info within those walls... Wish I lived closer to it

Yeah its just a mile down the road.

First you asked to know where the town was located and I gave you that. Now you want to know the layout of the town.
If the plat books of Winona county in both 1894 and 1927; and/or the 1894 Winona County Atlas would help, you can find them in the map and atlas collection at the Plainview Area History Center, 40 4th St. SW.

Sorry for the misunderstanding yeah I know where the area the town was it just that there are no buildings or founations left to be seen so I wasn't sure where the actual layout was. Thanks i'll look into that.
